Windows 8 is here!

YoYo Games recently launched GameMaker: Studio™ support for Windows 8 giving all existing GameMaker: Studio STANDARD, PROFESSIONAL and MASTER COLLECTION customers access to the Windows 8 export for free. We also launched an exciting competition giving developers a chance to win $500 for publishing Windows 8 games.
